On 3rd October, our member Dr. Felix Pfl\u00fccke organised a talk for the Society titled ‘Comparative Law “in Layers\u201c’, featuring Professor Birke H\u00e4cker, Director of the Institute of International and Comparative Private Law at the University of Bonn. Prof. H\u00e4cker, a former student of Brasenose College, Oxford, has held prestigious positions as an All Souls Examination Fellow and then Professor of Comparative Law at Oxford. The talk delved into a crucial point in comparative law: how legal systems may seem to converge or diverge depending on the ‘level’ of comparison. Prof. H\u00e4cker used specific examples to highlight how conclusions can shift as one moves from macro- to micro-level comparisons, prompting a discussion on the practical implications for the study of comparative law. The event concluded with an engaging discussion session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
